Lesson on Salah

Monday, May 11th, 2009

Today we looked at the Second Pillar of Islam, “Salah”. This is the requirement for Muslims to pray 5 times a day. We were introduced to 5 key words:

  • Adhan - the call to prayer we saw on the whiteboard
  • Mu’adhin - the person who sings the call to prayer (adhan)
  • Salah - the second pillar
  • Rakah - an individual unit of prayer
  • Wudu - the ritual wash Muslims have before prayer

Homework:

Your homework was to think of something you could do 5 times a day and then do it before school, at morning break, lunchtime, after school, and in the evening. Once you’ve done it, write a paragraph explaining what you did and how easy or hard you found it.
